APT unable to update after release upgrade [duplicate]

Ubuntu 16.04LTS -> 18.04LTS upgrade failure

Yes it was a long in the tooth install. But it finally got a release upgrade. Since then I haven't been able to get apt to install anything much looking for dosemu but has no targets, and update spews errors about InRelease not containing bionic.

W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'bionic/cnf/Commands-amd64' as repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease' doesn't have the component '

    You have to manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list and possibly some files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to not contain words focal or focal-*, but contain respective bionic and bionic-*, instead. (Only one of them per line.)
